    Techie checked in a while back saying he was travelling in Europe, so might have nothing to do with that but I'm not really sure.

    Nothing like the hurricanes some of you have had to deal with but we had a bit of wallop from 2 day atmospheric river; it did break some rainfall records and some areas in the lowermainland had flooding and landslides but no problems at my place here in Vancouver or my mom's place out in Hope. I guess we had to pay for all that gorgeous summery weather we had the first half of October.

    I'm still laughing about the zig zag gator escape run hahaha, but I sincerely hope none of you actually ever have to use it. In my neck of the woods, I'll have to look if that might work for bears or cougars too, haha.

      Dill, sorry that the walk wasn't well attended but at least there were no alligators in sight.

      Mulburry, glad that you and your Mom's place didn't suffer from all that rain.

      Mr. J did not get a deer yesterday. The only deer that he saw were a few hanging out on the side of the road as he was driving in.

      I'll take another 24 please...

          Mul, glad you and your Mom and properties are all ok after the bad weather! We've been having some perfect Fall weather here lately. It's really nice. I was afraid that Fall would not be as pretty this year due to our recent drought, but Nature is still putting on a good show. Not quite as bright as normal, but pretty darn close! There was a field of beans being harvested yesterday and you should have seen the DUST! I'm glad that field wasn't close to our house.

          Ginger, Mr. D went to the knee doctor yesterday and was told he wasn't bad enough yet for a transplant but getting close. His doc is looking into the possibility of doing chondroitin (gel) injections and is checking to see what insurance will allow. I remember his Mom having a knee replacement when she was in her early 70s. It must be genetic. Have others in your family been down that road?

          24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

          If it is important to you, you will find a way. If not, you will find an excuse.

              Today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!
              Quitting and staying quit isn't easy, its learning a whole new way of thinking. It's accepting a new way of life, and not just accepting it, embracing it...
              Worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. Just get through today. Tomorrow will look after itself when it becomes today, because today is all we have to think about.
              Friendship is not about how many friends you have or who you've known the longest. It's about who walked into your life, said "I'm here for you", and proved it.

                Our eldest daughter in New Westminster was telling us about all the rain Mulburry, they had a foot of rain over the two days. Glad that both you and your mom's place came through it okay.

                It's amazing how many people around here have went through knee and hip replacements, most everyone I talked to said they should have had it done years earlier.

                  Wow, Mul! That's a lot of ran. I didn't even hear about it on the news. We are close enough you'd think they'd mention it. Seems news worthy to me.

                  Dill, I'm the only one in my immediate family with joint issues but I've stressed mine more over the years. I've heard this twice now from two different docs...."Our bodies were only meant to last 50 years". Good grief!

                  Rava, enjoy lunch. Jude, sorry Mr J didn't get his deer. It's slim picking around here for the hunters too. ABC, every other person on our block down south, has had something replaced. One lady has had both hips and one knee and she's not even 60!

                  Enough of that!! I'll gratefully take another day of freedom.

                    My sister had both knees replaced a few years ago and she has never regretted it. My Dad's knees were terrible, but he never had the much needed surgery. The last few years of his life were spent in agony with limited mobility. His quality of life would have been so much better if he'd had the surgery.

                    The Fall colors are spectacular this year and driving home yesterday was a real pleasure. I took some pics and will try to post some later.

                    24 more please and thank you!

                      I would dread a joint replacement surgery, as does Mr. D. But I dread even more the loss of mobility. I think quite often, with gratitude, that I feel blessed to have my mobility. Would love to see your fall colors if you have the time to post, Jude.

                      24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

                          Up a bit earlier today as I have to meet the wholesaler in Mannville this morning at 7:45 to get the rest of the electrical material needed to wire in the new bins.

                          I also would love to see pics of everyone's fall colors!

                            Good morning Cafe. Mul, i am so glad that your place and your moms made out well with the rain. Mother Nature can sure play havoc on everything. All this talk of knee replacement makes me feel lucky that KNOCK ON WOOD, my knees are working so far. Off to the gym this morning. Wishing everyone a peaceful day. 24 more hours of sobriety please.

                                I can't remember where you're located, but if it's Alberta it should have been on the news, it actually made the top story of The National one day. If you're in the US though, then I could see it easily slipping through, as there is so much (weather related and otherwise) other news going on down there.

                                I'll also echo being glad to have the full use of my joints and limbs. I don't know what I'd do if I lost my mobility, that would not be a pleasant prospect to think about. My dad did have to get a hip replacement in his 60's, and I do notice a touch of joint pain here and there, so it's probably something I'll have to deal with eventually, but best not to think too far into the future. Not today.
